Its true. Just ask Indians that. Mumbai, Calcutta, Delhi, all fine places. Its great traveling on roads which have no street lights and cows move around freely as 1000's of pedestrians move in every direction.
The best part is the train system. Allows one to have fresh air and not be stuck in doors too.

Theres a point where high density can be done right, but if not, its a disaster.
When it starts to look like this:
And theres a large percentage of the population under the age of 24 with no birth control strategy, its a recipe for a disaster.
Its only going to get worse too. So with density, its good to have it if it can be managed right and integrated into a urban setting correctly.
